Mastodon Quick Start Guide

This guide was first developed and published in October 2023 and then updated and re-released in November 2024 by rOpenSci and The Carpentries to help break down barriers for our community members interested in adopting Mastodon as a social media platform. It offers tips to help get started and is not meant to be a comprehensive overview of the platform. Therefore, it includes other trusted resources where you can learn more. We welcome feedback on this guide by emailing info@ropensci.org or community@carpentries.org.
